This volume, three separate books in one edition, is a collection of Josef Pieper's famous treatises on the three theological virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love. Each of these treatises was originally published as a separate work over a period of thirty-seven years, and here they are brought together in English for the first time. The first of the three that he wrote, On Hope, was written in 1934 in response to the general feeling of despair of those times. His "philosophical treatise" on Faith was derived from a series of lectures he gave in the late 1950s and early 1960s. His most difficult work, one that he struggled with for years - and almost abandoned - was his work On Love. Pieper now feels that this is the most important book he has written. He discusses not only the theological virtue of caritas-agape, but also of eros, sexuality, and even "love" of music and wine. Read more

The problem of evil has challenged religious minds and hearts throughout the ages. Just how can the presence of suffering, tragedy, and wrongdoing be squared with the all-powerful, all-loving God of faith? This book gathers some of the best, most meaningful recent reflections on the problem of evil, with contributions by shrewd thinkers in the areas of philosophy, theology, literature, linguistics, and sociology.In addition to bringing new insights to the old problem of evil, Christian Faith and the Problem of Evil is set apart from similar volumes by the often-novel approaches its authors take to the subject. Many of the essays pursue classic lines in speculative philosophy, but others address the problem of evil through biblical criticism, the thought of Simone Weil, and the faith of battered women and African American slaves. As a result, this book will interest a wide range of readers.Contributors: Paul Draper Eduardo J. Echeverria Laura Waddell Ekstrom Stephen Griffith Del Kiernan-Lewis Richard T. McClelland Barbara Omolade Richard Otte Alvin Plantinga John R. Schneider Robert Stanley Peter van Inwagen Carol Winkelmann Keith D. Wyma Read more

When Frank Morison set out to write Who Moved the Stone?, he was a sceptic. His intention was to examine the events of Easter with the dispassionate eye of a legal historian – and to disprove the Resurrection. But the deeper he dug into the evidence, the more the case for Jesus Christ’s resurrection began to challenge his assumptions.Originally published in 1930 and now edited for clarity and modern readability, this timeless work of historical apologetics remains as provocative and compelling as ever. Morison applies journalistic rigour and logical reasoning to the Gospel narratives, treating them not as myth or dogma, but as historical testimony. The result is a book that has inspired generations of readers – sceptics and believers alike – to reconsider the claims at the heart of Christianity.This Chartley Books edition includes a new introduction, timeline, glossary, and chapter summaries to guide today’s reader through Morison’s argument. Whether you approach with faith, doubt, or curiosity, Who Moved the Stone? offers an honest invitation to think deeply about the most controversial weekend in history.Perfect for readers of C.S. Lewis, Lee Strobel, and Josh McDowell. Read more

“This is our challenge, our invitation: to tune, to heighten, to awaken our senses to the God who is already all around us, surrounding us, hemming us in, behind and before.” Eroding our commonly-held and heavily-baked image of God as some kind of superhuman in the sky, ‘Exploring Elohim’s Embrace’ draws us towards the infinite trinitarian God who is three persons mutually indwelling, intimately enveloping and passionately embracing.The God who is Love and Light and Breath.Who is Beauty and Wisdom and Peace. Relationship, Consciousness, Joy.And a myriad more.Clear and concise and packed with Biblical references, this beautifully poetic book offers innovative and moving insight into humanity’s unending, enduring exploration into who or what and where is an invisible yet omnipresent God?Because, as Pete Atkinson writes in his preface:"It feels scary, dangerous - not to mention impossible - for the finite to attempt to describe the infinite.But it also feels exhilarating, liberating - not to mention necessary - to explore…" Read more

'I recommend Streams of Living Water everywhere I go. My own personal copy is dog-eared, underlined and annotated by hand. Anyone with a heart for Christian unity should read and celebrate the message of this book. I consider it to be a seminal title for our time' - Pete GreigIn this landmark work, Richard Foster examines the 'streams of living water' - the six dimensions of faith and practice - that have defined Christian tradition around the world and down the centuries. In this inspiring book he looks at: - the Contemplative tradition - or the prayer-filled life- the Holiness tradition - or the virtuous life- the Charismatic tradition - or the Spirit-empowered life- the Social Justice tradition - or the compassionate life- the Evangelical tradition - or the word-centred life- the Incarnational tradition - or the sacramental lifeFoster's celebration of the spiritual life incorporates history's most significant Christian figures and movements and argues for a rich, well-rounded faith, free of constricting labels.'A book that will make you adore God' - Dallas Willard Read more

“I am The Way, the Truth and the Life”- A Brief Exposition of the The Gospel of JohnWritten by Samantha Davidova (25th February to 16th March, 2025 ) The first chapter of the gospel of John commences with the famous prologue which may be interpreted in one of two ways, either as God's word as representing himself active in creation and man's salvation finding its ultimate meaning and realization in Christ's flesh or otherwise “the word” is used as a title for Christ in Revelation 19:13 and appears to refer to him in person in 1st John 1:1 looked upon, handled and touched requiring us to understand “In the beginning...” in John 1:1 as “the beginning” of the new spiritual creation in Christ which will ultimately be manifested physically (i.e. post-resurrectionally) and Christ as the chief architect of all things in it. But to begin with the more common interpretation whereby the word is understood as an abstract personification of God's own “thought” or “purpose” (i.e. “logos λόγος” in Greek thought translated “Word” here) that was from the beginning in so much as God as a wise architect laid out the plan or blueprint of his purposed creation from the very beginning as indeed it was reflected in the ordinances of the Law according to which its principal religious institutions and structure of its sanctuary and tabernacle/ temple complex were in themselves “patterns of the heavenly things” in Hebrews 9:23 it being recalled in Hebrews 8:5 the words of Exodus 25:40 that God bade Moses make “all things according to the pattern that was being shown him upon the mountain,” in other words the heavenly things being made known to him up there in the sky or upon the summit of the mountain in “the heavenly place” (i.e. “skyward”) where God communed with him there and gave him a commission to build him a tabernacle (later temple) that he might dwell among his people Israel. “All things” therefore being “created” by Moses' descending from heaven or the mountaintop skywards after the word or Logos that had been revealed to him there being divine “reason” as the radical meaning of Logos Moses set to work upon the tabernacle employing Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan to manufacture “all things” in it according to “the word” that God had revealed to him so that in this respect “the Law was a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ” in Galatians 3:24-25 in that throughout all its institutions and ordinances it spoke of Christ's coming and particularly of his sacrificial death as “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” typified even before the animal offerings of the Mosaic Law in Eden to clothe Adam and Eve's nakedness or sense of sin with its fleece. In this respect the Law showed the “reason” of God that animal sacrifices were not sufficient to remove sin and death from the world permanently but the physically unblemished animals showed the necessity of the sacrifice of the morally perfect man in their stead as reflected upon in Psalms 40:6-8, Hebrews 10:5-10 this having been reasoned out by God “from the beginning” in his word or Logos or as it really means “his divine reason” the Law's inability to make permanent atonement showing this reason throughout its institutions and ordinances that “all these things” required Christ to be ultimately fulfilled not as typifications of didactive merit but as tangible realities whereby all that Moses created according to God's word could not be the substance but prefigures of the very realities they implied the necessity of coming into existence thereafter particularly Christ crucified which Paul calls both “the power and wisdom of God” as wisdom was similarly personified as God's word is in the Prologue as that attribute through which God created the universe or at least the “created order” in Proverbs 8:22-31, 35...

On its original publication, this work instigated a passionate debate about the nature of Christian belief and doctrine in the white heat of a secular revolution. It also epitomized the revolutionary spirit of a fresh and challenging way of looking at the world, which, throughout the 1960s, was to bring about the disintegration of established orthodoxies and social, political and theological norms. It articulated the anxieties of a generation who saw these traditional givens as no longer acceptable or necessarily credible. It is an suitable work for students of theology, and for anyone who is interested in a document which encapsulates the spiritual preoccupations of an entire age: the age of Profumo, the Beatles, the "Lady Chatterley's Lover" trial, women's lib and abortion rights.

Christians generally recognize the need to live a holy, or sanctified, life. But they differ on what sanctification is and how it is achieved. How does one achieve sanctification in this life? How much success in sanctification is possible? Is a crisis experience following one's conversion normal--or necessary? If so, what kind of experience, and how is it verified?Five Views on Sanctification--part of the Counterpoints series--brings together in one easy-to-understand volume five major Protestant views on sanctification: Wesleyan View – represented by Melvin E. DieterReformed View – represented by Anthony A. HoekemaPentecostal View – represented by Stanley M. HortonKeswick View – represented by J. Robertson McQuilkinAugustinian-Dispensationalism View – represented by John F. WalvoordWriting from a solid evangelical stance, each author describes and defends his own understanding of the doctrine sanctification and then responds to the views of the other authors.The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion. Read more

The Bible describes Jesus Christ as the Bridegroom and believers in Him as His Bride. This analogy, deeply rooted in aspects of the ancient Jewish wedding, is just the start of an incredible revelation presented to us throughout the pages of the Bible. Not only does it reveal a better understanding of Christ’s relationship with the Church, but it also unlocks a profound blueprint of things to come.Alastair Kirk, author of Amazon Bestseller, Revelation at the Manger, takes us on a journey that begins under the stars in the Negev Desert. We will visit the ancient Jewish wedding that has set the pattern for thousands of years of Judeo-Christian weddings. We will consider its relevance for the Church today, our expectation that God’s promises will be fulfilled, and the urgency for Christians in these last days to listen to the voice of the Bridegroom as we prepare for His return.

The Qur’ān is the word of the Ever-living God; it has been sent down to guide humanity for all times to come. No book can be like it. As you come to the Qur’ān, God speaks to you. To read the Qur’ān is to hear Him, converse with Him and to walk in His ways. It is the encounter of life with the Life-giver. ‘God - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-living, the Sustainer of existence. He has sent down upon you, [O Muhammad], the Book with in Truth ... as guidance for the people ...’ (Qur’ān 3:2-4).For those who heard it for the first time from the lips of the Prophet, the Qur’ān was a living reality. They had absolutely no doubt that, through him, God was speaking to them. Their hearts and minds were therefore seized by it. Their eyes overflowed with tears and their bodies shivered. They found each word of it deeply relevant to their concerns and experiences, and integrated it fully into their lives. They were completely transformed by it both as individuals and as a nation - into a totally new, alive and life-giving entity. Those who grazed sheep, herded camels and traded petty merchandise became the leaders of mankind.About the translation :Translated by the Qur'an Project team.Of all published works, the Qur’ān is perhaps the least translatable. Arabic is not at all easy to translate into a language so widely and radically differing from it in structure and genius as English, unless it be with the aid of loose periphrasis and lax paraphrase.Even so the fire of the original is quenched, its vivacious perspicuity is lost, and the so-called literal translation looks rugged and dreary. That the language of the Arabs abounds in nuances and both the noun and the verb are extremely flexible, is a fact well known to every student of that tongue. The difficulty is increased hundredfold when one has to render into English, with any degree of accuracy and precision, a work so rich in meaning, so pithy in expression, so vigorous in style and so subtle in implications as the Qur’ān. To reproduce even partially its exotic beauty, wonderful grandeur and magical vivacity without sacrificing the requirements of the English idiom and usage, is the despair of the translator and an ideal impossible of attainment. The result is that every fresh attempt at translating the Holy Writ brings home, in varying degrees, the truth of the old saying that nothing is so unlike an original as its copy.Nevertheless, as difficult a task as it was, over twenty-three translations of the Qur’ān were consulted in an attempt to render the words of the Qur’ān into the English language and the result is, God-willing, a translation read easily by most. The reader should take note that there exists a number of other translations of the Qur’ān which are more eloquent and richer in language and whilst the current translation may be suitable for some, it may not be ideal for others.

Pentecostal theology has suffered some reputational damage in past years, and Pentecostal theology is under-represented in academia and literature. Pentecostals are associated, unfortunately, with some wild excesses and disorderly worship, yet the majority of Pentecostals quietly serve God and preach the Gospel faithfully, unnoticed, but tarred with the same brush. It is my belief, and my burden, that we ‘Penties’ need to step up to the plate, to learn the Word of God with the Holy Spirit as our teacher, to become the strongest teachers of biblical truth, leading the way within the Body of Christ and academia. If you, as a reader, are not a Pentecostal, perhaps your experience with ‘Penties’ has been with the minority who do not defend their beliefs and doctrines accurately, so this may be the book that helps you to understand the scriptural and academic foundations of Pentecostalism, especially the last section which specifically discusses those teachings.If you are a ‘Penty’, the discussions in this book should fill in the major gaps, and establish your foundation to make your faith rock-solid: prepare to grow! Some aspects of doctrine may seem generic to all Christians, such as the inspiration of scripture, or the trinity, but there are aspects of even these teachings which are specifically Pentecostal. What is the role of the Spirit in that inspiration? What is the place of the Spirit in the trinity – do Penties have a different angle? How are these aspects neglected by other Christians? Perhaps it would also help to clarify what Pentecostal theology is not: it is not dispensational, though many Penties hold to a hybrid theology. It is not based on feelings, though many Penties have a reputation for being emotional. It is not sensationalist, though many are very exuberant. Without denying the fact that many sensationalist, emotional dispensationalists are part of our fellowship, and that we love them, the essential Pentecostal theology is none of those things!
